The Huskies suffered their first loss in a conference home opener since Jan.
2, 1988.

Down nine in the first half, UConn fought back and led 60-55 on a Breanna
Stewart layup with 11:34 to play. Stewart scored again down low off a feed
from Dolson to make it 72-70 with 2:28 remaining.

After Achonwa converted 1-of-2 free throws, UConn had opportunities to expand
its lead. Stewart missed two shots, including one 3-point try, and Mosqueda-
Lewis also failed to connect from beyond the arc.

Diggins was then fouled on a drive to the basket. She missed the layup but
sank both free throws with 49.4 seconds left.

UConn had looks in the waning moments, but Stewart misfired on two jumpers and
Mosqueda-Lewis couldn't get a three from the right corner to fall.
